Castes and Tribes of Southern India/Boidyo

by Edgar Thurston

Boidyo.—Recorded under the name Boyidyo, in the Madras Census Report, 1901, as "literally a physician: a sub-caste of Pandito." There is said to be no difference between Panditos and Boidyos. In Ganjam they are known by the former, elsewhere by the latter name.
